Hey, just a few more media things to share that came out after dance night. First, don’t miss taking in this Access Hollywood coverage. They also interviewed a few of the couples….

Also, Today posted a good read about a possible “double elimination” coming up which we figured might happen. However, it may not happen next week. Then again, maybe it will? Take a look below at what an ABC rep told them. Thanks to PureDWTS reader Kaitlyn for sending and more at the link.

An ABC rep told TODAY that an upcoming episode will have two couples exiting the ballroom on the same night, but that that double-elimination won’t necessarily happen next week.

While there were rumors of a non-elimination circulating among the cast before Monday’s show, Smirnoff said she didn’t get her hopes up.

“You never know,” she insisted. “The plan changes five times a day. By the time you hear the old plan the new one is already in place.”

Prepare for anything. If a double elimination happens next week, who do you think should or will go?

I would say Leah for sure, but, I’m torn on the other and I don’t even want to think about it since it might be Bill? :(

I'm a fashion and music fan....and I have always loved dancing too of any kind. Dancing With The Stars seems to have this way of bringing all of those things together.

Originally I thought it would be Leah and Jack. I think Jack is getting more votes than someone like Elizabeth but his scores put him in the elimination bracket in my mind. Now that we see the teams though he could end up getting a boost being on Derek’s team (assuming they get a higher score than Leah’s team).

Assuming Bill gets around a 25 or 26 on his solo he could be in trouble. If he makes it through the double elimination then A LOT of more people are voting for him than I thought.

So right now I’m going with Leah for sure and then either Jack or Bill. If some miracle happens and it ends up being Leah and Liz though I would do such a happy dance…

I’m not 100% convinced that the double elim will happen next week – I think a lot of people (Sharon Osbourne included) are just automatically assuming that it will, since there was no elim this week. I think it’s more likely going to happen immediately prior to the finale – cut 5 couples down to 3.

Doing it during the semi-finals would be pretty dramatic. I remember when they did that during All-Stars and it made for a very intense, hyped night that I thoroughly enjoyed (personally I was a huge fan of All-Stars).

I think the reason nothing official has been said is because they don’t WANT to do it when it might take out the wrong two people. I don’t think they actually HAVE a plan. That will come into play when it takes out people they are okay with losing. Once they count the votes for this week and look at the scores – then they’ll decide.

Re #6: *That* is what drives me nuts – that the producers can switch things up to circumvent the viewers and voters. “We don’t want so-and-so to leave, so let’s hold off on the double elimination” – what a farce!

I think losing Bill this season will affect me much more than it did when we lost Andy last season.

I know I sound like Debbie Downer this season but I had high hopes with this new cast and preseason I was so anxious for the new season to start. Well now, the only pairs that I even care to see dance are Bill, Nicole, and Amber. That’s it.

Who knows, maybe Bill is one of those contestants that the producers Don’t want to get rid of.

I believe Bill to be in the most danger. Of the remaining couples, I seriously doubt anyone will score the same or worse than Bill & Emma next week. While none of the judges seem to be “protecting” Bill, Bruno has been especially harsh in his comments 2 of the last 3 outings and CAI always feels like she’s holding back on what she really wants to say because of Bill’s evident popularity not only with the studio audience but the other teams. So I’d say there is no hesitation on the part of TPTB to lose Bill Engvall and new pro Emma Slater at any point now.

The rest is less clear to me. I do not see where the Leah & Tony love is coming from or what the motivation is. Without knowing why they are being favored by TPTB somewhat it’s hard to say when they will give up protecting them. I do see Leah Remini as being “known” and possibly liked by the biggest part of the TV audience. But is that still translating into votes despite her poor behavior and mediocre performances? Does she have an unseen relationship with someone on the show? I don’t mean as a lover, but is she a relative/friend of someone BTS? Or, are they hoping to score another association by treating Leah Remini “right?” JLo, cough?

Jack Osbourne – Not an especially good (or bad) dancer or memorable performer. I don’t see an obvious connection to the GA or a big reason to vote for Jack & Cheryl. He does seem to be more appreciated at the judges table than Bill though.

Brant & Peta – Very uneven but that’s probably her not being flexible enough with her choreography to play to his strengths. Perhaps Peta is learning from her mistakes in Salsa week? I can see reasons for TPTB to want this Pretty Little Liars star to stay a bit longer though. OK scores might get him past some vote deficiencies.

Nicole & Sasha – I expect this couple is disposable to TPTB. So what a surprise that Snooki isn’t a bad dancer and is workin’ it!

I can see TPTB, or at least the judges table, want to see Elizabeth and Val make it to the finals. While it’s less clear how many votes they are garnering, I think they are safer than several others now.

Next week’s elimination(s) will be especially within the control of the producers/judges so it will be especially disappointing when it’s not Leah & Tony!
